Water is a vital resource, bit only 3 % of the water on our planet is fresh. Of these reserves, just 10 % can be exploited economically. It is estimated that 1.1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water and there is a water shortage in already 30 countries. Water is the most vital raw material of the 21st century. Accordingly, a secure water supply is regarded as one of the most important global objectives for the coming years.

Today, a secure drinking water supply is impossible without the use of the latest technology In many locations. Innovative technologies for the treatment of drinking water as well as water reuse are gaining in importance in all the world’s regions.

We are ready to response to this challenge with a comprehensive and highly qualified range of solutions and offers a wide spectrum of chemical, physical and biological processes for the water treatment in line with the different water sources:

Ground water

Surface water

Sea- and brackish water

Treated wastewater (potable water reuse)

Industrial wastewater treatmentIndustrial wastewater contains a diversity of impurities and therefore for this reason alone, its treatment constitutes a special task. Furthermore, the emission limits for industrial effluent are constantly being tightened up. Closed circuits and product recovery in various production processes are becoming an increasing priority among manufacturing companies. These measures represent an additional contribution to the protection of aquatic eco-systems and possess great cost-cutting potential.

We have a dedicated team having a long-term experience in the industrial wastewater treatment sector. The resulting expertise is advantageously employed for the technical and economic optimisation of every subsequent facility. The treatment process may contain mechanical, biological and chemical physical process steps.

In the case of biological, anaerobic wastewater treatment we employ conventional processes and space-saving, high-performance reactors. We are also capable to setup large-scale plants on the basis of the world’s most frequently used UASB process. Other systems can also be utilised in accordance with the characteristics of the wastewater, e.g. the activated sludge process for less polluted water. In the case of maximum cleaning requirements (e.g. water reuse) we can employ membrane processes with submerged or external membranes. The advantages are considerable savings of liquid resources and practically zero discharge of wastewater.

Following processes can be used:-

Aerobic biological processes

Anaerobic biological processes

Chemical-physical processes

We are capable to apply effluent treatment concepts in the widest variety of industrial branches including aerobic and anaerobic/aerobic systems for the food processing, membrane bioreactor systems for the chemical industry and wastewater reuse schemes for diverse branches.
